def decode_content(message):
   content = message.get_payload(decode=True)
   charset = message.get_content_charset('utf-8')
   try:
       return content.decode(charset, 'ignore')
   except LookupError:
       import chardet
       encoding = chardet.detect(content).get('encoding')
       if encoding:
           return content.decode(encoding, 'ignore')
        return content
   except AttributeError:
       return content
